In the present work, we prepared N-doped ZnO by a facile chemical vapor deposition method and used it for the degradation of wastewater containing noxious rose bengal (RB) dye under visible-light stimulation. The as-prepared N-doped ZnO and the undoped ZnO (used as a control sample) were characterized by numerous spectroscopic and microscopic methods. These analyzing results confirmed the successful formation of the N-doped ZnO compound and it could be implemented for wastewater treatment. Interestingly, the N-doped ZnO material confirmed the maximum RB dye degradation efficiency (96.90%) and was shown to be 154% more efficient than undoped ZnO (62.95%) within 100 min of visible-light irradiation. The bandgap energy was considerably decreased after the incorporation of N onto the ZnO matrix compared to undoped ZnO. The improved photocatalytic performance is because of the reduction of bandgap energy, which suppressed the electron–hole pair recombination. In addition, a plausible photodegradation mechanism of RB dye was discussed employing N-doped ZnO under visible light. The findings show that our as-synthesized product can be used to eliminate contaminants, which provides a new avenue for effective implications.
